Italy - Amici (with grape skins) - LE26 - Available Apr 2027
by Winexpertmade in Canada
This Italian red blend brings together several of Italy's celebrated grapes - Montepulciano, Aglianico, and Sangiovese - creating a wine that is harmonious and expressive. Dark, ripe fruit flavors are complemented by bright cherry notes, while savory and herbal nuances add depth. Firm tannins and medium acidity provide structure, and the generous use of oak lends a rich, layered character, resulting in a full-bodied yet balanced wine.
Region
Italy's diverse wine regions allow each grape to express its unique character. From the rolling hills of central Italy to the sun-soaked south, soils rich in clay and limestone support healthy vines and concentrated fruit. Warm days and cooler nights help preserve acidity and balance, making the country renowned for producing structured, aromatic red blends.
Food Pairings
Go all-in with a hearty spaghetti bolognese topped with grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Or pick the protein of your choice, oven-roasted and covered with fresh garlic, rosemary, and thyme with a side of grilled zucchini and peppers.
